I collect old License Plate toppers and just got this original 1940-1950 Tydol Oil Man Plate Topper, I've been looking for one of these and got this one at a good price. They do make reproductions of these so beware.
this is a really great one!!
Sweet find Ed!!
Thanks ho2cultcha, it is a popular one, that's why there is repros.
Thankyou pickrknows, I think so too!

As a noob can you tell me how to tell a reproduction?
Hey Ed, you might as well send that reproduction to me lol! Great find!

Wow, more Love for this! Thanks SEAN68, vreugdenhil, trgrubaugh, ttomtucker,
farmlady, AntiqueToys and motorheadmn!
Hi vreugdenhil most of the repros I've seen are yellow instead of white and don't have as good detail as original such as the embossed detail, hope this helps.
Ha Michael, if you want a repro theres one on e-bay only $35, ugh
Hey Ed, I hope you know I was only teasing you that's a nice license plate topper!
Michael
I know Michael, I was teasing you back, who the heck wants a repro for $35 LOL
Ed you're exactly right, I definitely don't want any reproductions!
Michael
Thanks for the response EJW-54!
Glad you joined this love list Trey, antiques-in-nj and kerry10456
One way to tell a reproduction is they don't make the mounting holes oval.Unless some unscrupulous person modifies it!Real old ones have oval holes!
Thanks gargoylecollector for that info.
